5 DEC 2025 · Winter's here, the snow is falling, and the last big games of 2025 are debuting. It's a packed week on The Game Informer Show, as Kyle Hilliard discusses his review of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Marcus Stewart dives into the super-sprites of Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
After the break, Charles Harte joins the dynamic duo to discuss more Kirby Air Riders, as well as spotlight a cool new indie mystery called Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved. Don't turn the dial on 2025 yet, as the year's clearly got a few more heaters left.

26 NOV 2025 · It's Thanksgiving week in the US, which means the GI staff is taking some time off, heading to wherever they rest their heads, planning dinners and get-togethers, and getting in some extra game time.
In light of that, we're publishing a special early edition of The Game Informer Show this week with a little twist - rather than a roundtable discussion, we had everyone contribute their own solo take on what they're playing, thinking about, or otherwise getting back into this holiday break! From the 2025 backlog to older games, and even some tabletop options, we've got a boatload of personalized selections from the GI crew. Enjoy!

Before all that, though, Charles shares some early impressions of the zany, speedy Kirby Air Riders and a new indie rogue-like called Morsels. Plus, we close the show out with another edition of GI Oughta Know, this time all about the history of The Game Awards!
